manager of the gas works outside BOr-

asking him to contribute to the fOunda-

request, telephoned back to know who
was sending the message. The reply
was, 1.-The mayor of Bordeaux.

for the secretary was an intimate friend.
He accordingly took In the situation at
a glance and told the rogue to commune

sharper did so, and had arranged for a
meeting with the manager in order to
